[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you play with the poor guy?
Honestly, I will wiggle long toys (think stick) under a blanket while he attacks (simulates mice running under the blanket) run around with one of those mouse on a string/stick things and the cat will chase me. Then, he'll kick the crap out of one of his stuffed toys for a while after chasing, that kind of thing.
They have to have some play time each day.
Is there another kitten that he plays with? The poor thing is 10 months old he needs some play time.

And yes you also appear to be over stimulating him - try to stop doing that.

Yes, I *play* with the *poor* guy. Where do you get that I don't play with him?

And where out of the same suggestion you are telling me I need to play with him but I am overstimulating him? I am confused by your advice. Which is it?[/quote]

Well, it doesn't seem like you've played enough with him to learn about his natural behaviors.

If you play with him with something like a stuffed mouse attached to a string and a stick he will attack and bite that some.
Also if you have out done bigger stuffed toys he might grab those too and kick and bite them. When I play chase/stick/mouse with my cats they usually then run over to a stuffed thing and kick/bite the crap out of it. This is very fun for them.
A kickeroo to kick and bite:

When the sit in my lap I pet them some but not a lot. If you pet them a lot (presding hard) or touch their belly they will typically then growl and bite pretty hard. And then flee and start running crazily around the house.

This is also a really fun cat toy - just simulate it yourself by taking a stick toy and wiggling it under a blanket and poking it out and then back in again. Kitty should attack a lot:
